Ships today do have internet, though the amount of time you get online varies. At the least, sailors get some time each week to check email and pay their bills.
Working onboard the M.S. "pride of Aloha" in Hawaii, I got to surf the net daily, though it was via a prepaid card and quite expensive.
My daily status updates to my family and friends still get written at sea, they're just not posted daily. I keep everything on a memory stick and ready to post as one big update when possible.
